Answer by checkley79(3341) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
AMELIA HAS J-250 OR J=A+250
AMELIA HAS L+300 OR L=A-300
A+J+L=1,250
A+(A+250)+(A-300)=1,250
3A-50=1,250
3A=1,250+50
3A=1,300
A=1,300/3
A=$433.33
J=433.33+250=683.33
L=433.33-300=133.33
PROOF:
433.33+683.33+133.33=1,250
$1,250=1,250
